Clinical Interviewing (third edition)

Clinical interviewing is a practical, hands-on activity. It’s hard to imagine learning to sit with, listen to, evaluate, and provide professional help to another human being simply by reading a book. Nevertheless, that’s exactly the purpose of this book. We hope that by reading it—in combination with classroom activities, practicum or prepracticum experiences, and feedback from peers and supervisors—budding mental health professionals will learn the art and science, the intimacy and objectivity of clinical interviewing.
